The bridge between school and businesses

Fisica in Moto (physics on motorcycles), located at the historical
Ducati factory in Borgo Panigale, is the interactive didactic physics
laboratory dedicated specifically to high school students created
through the collaboration of the Fondazione Ducati together and the
Liceo Malpighi (Malpighi high school) in Bologna.

The purpose of the laboratory is to build a bridge between schools and
businesses through the experience of science and technology museums.
Specifically designed and custom-built interactive machines will be used
inside the laboratory to demonstrate the principles of physics that
students learn at school, as well as phsyics’ relationship with a Ducati
MotoGP bike. The whole course has been developed with the collaboration
of the professors from Bologna’s Malpighi high school and university
lecturers.
